Cassells criticises phasing out of mortgage interest relief

06 August 2015

New figures indicate that 325 thousand people are set to lose tax relief on their monthly mortgage payment when mortgage interest relief is phased out by the end of 2017.
The move is being criticised by Fianna Fáil Councillor in Meath Shane Cassells who says that mortgage interest relief has already been withdrawn from new home buyers since 2012.
He says it's very important for families - particularly those struggling with high variable mortgage interest rates.
